'ATTORNEY a Patented July 27,192 v f 1 ly and easily Ill) hook.

lirt-En ma sacres came ;camsgamiqijp The ii'i'venti'on has" for its 'ebj set to provide a simple and inexpensively Constructed hame' hook ellicient in 'iuse'antl wli'ieh may bequ'ick: applied to bf removed from p of plates hing edly connected and ree-ate with bayonet slots a portion ol vh ich register to receive the teetering andEftvhich bayonetslots are of varied lengths fwherebywhen the trace ring'has been affixed to position theslots will'overlap to lock the sameto such position against inadvertent removal. Y

'Other objects and, advantages of the invention will be apparent by reference to the following detailed description and the claims appended thereto, reference also being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a detail perqoective viewoif "the invention, the manner of application of the trace ring being shown. 1

Figure 2ais a side elevation of the hame hook mounted for use. 7

Figure 3 is an edge viewof the harne My improved hame hook is constructed to comprise two simple spring metal plates hinged together. and suitably slotted for the" purpose of receiving and securing the trace- The first plate is designated 1 andas stated is constructed of relatively thin spring metal of awidth permitting of the ready slipping of the same through a harne staple 2ofa hame, a portion of which is indicated by w [the numeral 3.

' plates 1 and L- Y Byconstru'cting the plates of relatively 7 to tend to impinge upon the edge of the plate t which is adapted to beslipped thereunder a shortdistance.

y The edge of the plate 4 adapted to fit under the edge 7 is provided with extensions which are bent upon themselves to provide hinge tongues 8 adapted to cooperate with,

the hinge slots.9 formed insaid' edge 7 in providing for hinged connection 'of the I o 1 v edge 7 will also'aid such action. The second or opposing plate ,4 is -conthinspring nietal and with the spriiiglroll' 5 it ispos'sibl'e tjo 't 'uiclilyitiount thehook by inserting the plate-lthrougli a hfame staple J 2 and movingthe par t'sgrelatively tob'rinfg the said staplein'to the socket ,6. Tliespriiig; ran are permit; the "h p leave out and let the staple legs and varied length, longitudinal legs.

This effects an oil-register positioningof the equal length cross legs 11 closing both such cross legs, when the plates are in flatly opposedrelation, see Figure 2, but permits of a bringing into register of the cross legs nnea tna'w; v

From thetor'egoingdescription, taken in connection withthe accompanying drawing,

it is though vthe novel details .ofconstruction, the manner of use and the advantages of my'invention {will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which it relates."

Whatl'claim isb 1 "LA ha-me hook comprising a -pair of hinged plates each having a slot therein, saidslots each being directed in the same general direction asthe 0tl1er-,"0ne of 'said islots'be portions being adapted to be brought into cooperative register when the plates are moved apart on their hinge connection, all being arranged whereby When the plates are in contact and a ring is in position in the registered parts of the slots it will have bearing against both plates at the front edges of the slots opposite the hinge, whereby pull on the ring will tend to hold the plates in contact substantially as shown and described.

2. A halne hook comprising a pair of hinged plates each having a bayonet slot cooperative in receiving and securing a tracering, one plate having an end thereof bent back upon itself to form a spring roll forming a hanie staple receiving pocket and presenting the said bent end in position for impinging'upon the end of the other plate,

and hinge connections between the impinging and impinged plate ends.

A hanie hook comprising a pair of hinged plates each having a bayonet slottherein, portions of the longitudinal parts of such slots being inregister, and the cross parts of such slots being out of register when the plates are opposed but which may be brought into cooperative register by movement of the plates on their hinge connection, one plate having an end thereof bent back upon itself to form a spring roll forming a harne staple receiving pocket and presenting the said bent end in position forimpinging upon the end of the other plate, and hinge connections between the impinging and impinged plate ends.
